Steve Doss

I was watching a Temp-tations show today with Steve Doss hosting. I cannot remember when I have enjoyed a show more. He is such an excellent host. He is so natural and does not act like a silly child, like some others. No jumping around, no singing, no giggling, etc,etc. He is now one of my all time favorite hosts among the men. It was kind of like when Mary Beth hosted a Kim Gravel show. She was, as always, so classy. None of the stupidity that goes on when Kim is with other hosts.

Agree, he does a terrific job! I have enjoyed every one of his shows I've seen, and he usually sells me on something!

Steve Doss is one of my favorites. He is cool, calm, and collected and tells you what you need to know.

matty liz - Justin is the one host I cannot stand to watch. He kisses up to everyone and seems so phony.

I totally get it as we all have our faves and others not so much. For some reason I can't watch Amy S. Not sure why but I find her really irritating.

LOL, they're basically the same person. Add in Justin, and the personalities/hosting styles are exactly the same.

If you like one, you'll like all three.

There is most certainly a "type" of male host QVC wants to hire now.

With the women, some are really bad/annoying, but at least the personalities are pretty distinct from one another.

QVC runs tons of focus groups to test how loyal/devoted viewers are to certain hosts. Of course, David scores off-the-charts. None of the three I mentioned have high scores in that area. They're literally interchangable. Alberti does well, and so does Rick..

I think he does a great job. I was glad when he got some other shows after being the side kick on ITKWD. He seems genuine.

How do you know the results of the Focus Groups???

Is this published somewhere we can all read it?

@matty liz - While Justin seems like a nice guy, he's not my fav either. I'd rather watch Steve.

These aren't published.

For whatever reason, Justin is QVC's new "golden boy" and the other hosts know it. I have heard over and over again other hosts say what a great guy Justin is and what a great host he is, desperately trying to curry favor. Rick has done this multiple times, probably because he knows if a male host is going to be let go, it's 100% going to be him.

I always thought Craig Smith was a better vendor for electronics and should have been hired over Justin if they wanted a host with that particular knowledge base.

I remember when David would call Steve Big Bite - does he still do that?

What makes you think Craig Smith would even want to be a host? Being a host is very different and requires a lot of on air time which perhaps Craig isn't interested in.
